I stepped away from Discord months ago and I must admit, I haven't found a good replacement yet. And if it is decent, no one else I know will jump on it.

Its frustrating.

(I know someone may feel compelled to offer a solution by pointing me towards a Discord-like. I assure you, I've already tried or looked into it.)

I have been successfully using sharkord. Its getting better and better. Easier to setup then fluxer, IMHO.

It’s not quite ready yet but Fluxer is trying to be a drop in replacement for discord with self hosted options. I’m just waiting for it to be a bit more ready and stable before I jump ship, but as soon as they glance my way with age verification I’ll probably jump early

Been using Fluxer since March. Is there something specific you need before you consider it ready?

I would like the iOS app to be out of test flight primarily

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not to press the issue too much here, but is there a specific reason why? I don't have an iPhone so I can't comment on that version, but the android app is perfectly usable.

Probably because they use an iPhone. You can’t use android apps on iPhones. Just like you can’t use iOS apps on android.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't mean to imply otherwise. My point was that the android app is likewise in the play store beta program, but is very usable. But, as I said, I'm unfamiliar with iphone so if the test program means you can't use it, I see.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

On iOS being in beta via TestFlight means only 10,000 people can test the app at a time. After that limit is hit no one can sign up to “test” the app unless someone drops out.

Thanks for the info!

Looks like it’s back to irc and teamspeak.
